Each of the sides includes theVertical end posts 13 and 14, the former of which is considerably longerthan the latter, :is clearly seen-in Figure 1. Connectedr vto the upperandlower portions oit the inner faces of the posts 13 and 1st, andextending in parallel relation therebetween, are the side 15, it beingnoted that the lower rail 15 is connected tothe post 14 adjacent thelower end while the other end of the rail is connected at some distancefrom the lower end ot' the post 13, Lwhereby said rails inclinedownwardlyT toward th'efpost 111. Connected tothe mutually adjacent`tace-s of the pests 18 and 14, ot a side of the chute, in parallelrelation to, and below the lower rail 15, is a floor supporting beam 12.Secured rails on the upper face of each of the lower railsk are theupwardly ext-ending vloops 16, to.
